Need Some Last Minute Holiday Food Ideas? Check These Out.

We just wanted to wish all of our readers, old and new, happy holidays. It’s been a delicious year and here are a few delicious starters/meals that we cooked since We Are Never Full launched that would be perfect for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day dinner. Until next time, folks, relax, eat, drink and be merry. I’m so glad I don’t have to work for 12 days! HAPPY HOLIDAYS… thanks for reading and we’ll see you with some new stuff very soon!

Chicken with Figs (above) would make a cheap, easy and absolutely fabulous Christmas Day dinner. Substitute dried figs with fresh ones and it still tastes perfect.

Hornazo (chorizo and egg bread) may be technically a bread made in Spain for Easter-time, but it doesn’t mean it wouldn’t get you the “wow” factor at brunch on Christmas Day!

A not-so-favorite “Food Network” douche bag, Guy Fieri did help us with Christmas Eve drinks one year with his “Ginger Bling” drink. It really was delicious and it pains me to say that since it was created by a man who calls himself a “food dude” (gag me).

My menu is planned, but I very much enjoyed this photo revue, especially the hornazo! I fell in love the moment I set my eyes on it and given my heritage and lifestyle, I’m surprised it’s new to me! Thanks for the entertainment and inspiration you provide. In the 5 months that I’ve been blogging, your blog was one of the first I discovered — and you never fail to please!
Come by and see the photo revue I posted earlier this week — the ones that never made it to post. Merry merry, happy happy.

Amy darling, Fantastic proposals 😀 for these days. Can I order everything with seafood/fish involved? How long will it take to arrive here? What? So long? I need it for the 26th!!!!!
Just kidding, my menu for the 26 is all set and will be T♥♥ Much T♥♥!!!
HAVE THE MERRIEST XMAS!!!!

All great. We would be happy with any of these suggestions here, not entirely sure about that ginger drink though, maybe we are just partial to Champagne and wine here.
Happy Holidays to you both and wishing you a wonderful 2009.
I am wondering if you made comté souffles for Christmas? Looking forward to hearing more about that!

Hi Lori Lynn and everyone else! we’re checking in from a mountain holiday in PA and we hope everyone is having happy holidays! relaxing better be on all your ‘to do’ lists.

lori lynn – we DID get inspiration from your comte souffles for our Christmas Eve starter. thank you SO much. we made seafood souffles w/ cheese and they were phenomenal. thank you again for the inspiration.

Hi Amy,
Firstly Merry Christmas & Happy new Year (a lilltle late, sorry!). I hope that you had a wonderful time celebrating and that 2009 started out nicely.

All these dishes are just fabulous – I especially love the seafood ones. I don’t have to cook for Christmas as every year, I am “in charge” of dessert. As it is summer when we celebrate Christmas in Australia, the meal is usually cold meats and seafood, occasionally a warm dish like roast chicken.

Oh my goodness…it’s getting late here and my mouth is watering. Everything looks so fabulous especially that chorizo and egg bread. Haha, I love your sentiments about Guy Fieri, but sometimes he does actually make stuff that I want to try. Happy new year!
